there's nothing like Paris to clear up your mind

You might not believe it but it's true. I am back to soVIPzone after a summer of utter lack of inspiration. I just came back from a flash 2-day trip to Paris and I have seen the light.
My friend Giulia and I decided to pay a visit to the city of light to track down editors and models alike. And we succeeded.
Our first stop was the Balmain show at the Le Grand Intercontinental Hotel. We walked in as if we were invitation holders and people seemed to buy it. Giulia kept being asked to get photographed for street style blogs and magazines as I stepped aside and watched with a smile on my face. Once the paparazzi fever was over we proceeded inside where, after a little waiting, everyone from Lily Donaldson and Sasha Pivovarova to Scott Schuman and Garance Doré to Kate Lanphear and Anna dello Russo (in a stunning Balenciaga) paraded less than a meter from us. The highlight? Anna Wintour sans shades turning her head to look at US!

The second and last day started with a late arrival at the Dior show at the Jardin de Tuileries. The most crowded with voyeurs due to the magnitude of the brand. Not many spottings occured then.
From there we caught a cab to L'école de Médecine where the Isabel Marant show was going to take place. Virginia Smith and Stefano Tonchi appeared once again but their attendance was overshadowed by Emmanuelle Alt (more beautiful than you can imagine) walking around right next to us and the arrival of Carine and Julia who simply take your breath away.

Stay tuned for new posts, because this time they're coming!

I'm off.
